title: [Dietary factors and risk of colon cancer].
abstract: Epidemiological and experimental studies indicate that certain dietary habits are associated with increased frequency of cancer in the large bowel. The article presents recent studies on the effects of fiber, fat and calcium on risk of cancer of the large bowel. A low fiber/high fat diet seems to enhance the risk of developing a colonic neoplasm. Increased intake of calcium may be beneficial in high-risk populations.
